CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. G.-Anothe,
week openu with no signs Of q break il
the deadlock. Tho joint ballot on satur
dsy resulted as follows: Camden, 81
Barbee, 80; Newman, s; Brown, 0; Harris

son, l. H3a.EWT.,.r
Tho Republicans could not be mort
firmly united Upon q Republican thar
thay now arc. The petition from promi
nent Wheeling Republicans nskint
hlessrz. Scott, Whitaker, Daval and Sin
clair 10 support Camden will have no ef
feet. It's force is discounted by the belle
that tho printed iorm was sent out IRON
here, having been printed in the interest
OF ex-senator Camden. The number o
Republicans OF some standing who signed
tho petition excites surprise, not to Gay
indignation. Mr.. McCombJ, the other
delegate from the Panhandle, the only ont
not named In the petition has recent;
boen home and he pays he found ku. ont
Republican who suggested the advisable
ity Of voting for Camden under any cir.
cumstauces, and he only In certain i'm.
probable contingencies, and he has ael
fish reason for thinking as he does.
Josiah Sinclair, OF Benwood, says II thu
petition were half mile long and signed
by every Republican in Wheeling, he
would pay no attention 10 1t. As he rep
resents Marshall county do not lust eet
why he should. tG iGiE&2 ].
aENERKL DuvAL's OPINION.
General Duyal says he thinks Rspubli
cans at distance from the Capital ehouit
have enough confidence in the forty msr
they have bent here to represent them to
defer to their judgment in the matter, es
pecially when such Republicans as Judge
Maxwell, Senators Dawson, MorIis and
woodward, Judge Hoke, Hon. j. NJ. Ha
gans, Mr.. A{cWhorter, Senator Scott, Mr.
Whitaker and all the others in the two
houses are unit III the opinion that the
only thing to do Is to puraue in the future
the policy they have pursued in the past
When such Republicans as o. G. SEQ.
field, W. P. Hubbard, DR.. Logan. Colonel
Mclean, Colonel George B. Caldwell Gov
ernor Borsman, Mr.. Purcell, Of the Stat
Tribune, NJ. s. Holt, Of tho Weston Re
publican. Mr.. @. B. Hart, NJ. @. q. Church,
and iu fact all who have bsen hers and
viewed the situation advised the policy
which has been adopted.
RESENT THE WHEELING PETITION.
The point which it is hoped by the Rs.
publican members to accomplish by this
policy would obviously dsteat their OBJ.
ject, but tho members here think some
thing is due them, and while they will
welcome suggestions from any Republican
they justly resent auch efforts as the
Camden petition from Wheeling.
General Duval received it. Saturday
and it was perused with interest by all the
Republicans. @
There are etill rumors Of Developments
at IN early stage OF this week'g proceed
ingB, but like previous rumors they. de-
pend on such uncertain contingencies thai
little weight is attached to them.
Mr.. Lucas, OF tho "Anti's" committee
has drawn up long answer to the Cam.
den caucus letter, in which the whole
situation is reviewed. It will be revised
by President Price and Captain Chipley
before the public is allowed to see it. !
Tomorrow the Republican and Greon.
back members will cast their votes for
General I. Il. Duval. Their subsequent
action they arc not ready to give out.
